1. The Pope like, rocks.

[Zynx]

2. Oh. My. God. The guy is so classless.

[harmonicon]

4. Which one?

We all know that Bush is classless, but what would you say about someone who wears custom-made white outfits that aren't even normal clothes, changes his name at an old age, and travels around in a modified car with giant windows on it so that everyone can see him? Yeah, that just screams class.

41. The Pope kicked ass this trip.. Some of us here acutally like him...

[CTyankee]

42. and that lace thing he wears under his skirt. and the little red shoes made

by some little leather maker up in northern Italy. Actually, it makes me laugh because it is so Italian. Hey, they have their "little ways." it's what makes them so "old world."

[bitchkitty]

47. C'mon.

It's not the Pope who decides on all that pageantry, it was in place long before he was chosen.

Let's not dilute the specter of Bush's stupidity and utter lack of diplomacy with Catholic-bashing - aren't there other forums for that?

That's right. Poppy and Babs, he's the reflection of your wonderful parenting.

[Throd]

26. Dewd, you're The Popenator! Popahontas! Papal Tiger!

[Canuckistanian]

27. Like, totally gnarly, Pope dude! You rock!

Jesus.

Speaking of Jesus, were his teachings even mentioned today?

[boilinmad]

28. Another occasion....

....that makes me want to just sit down and have a beer with the chimp.....not.

[cliss]

29. Don't worry about the Pope.

He knows all about "Einstein" he's been warned ahead of time. Pope Ratzinger's closest advisors warned him about The Fool, expect anything from this Clown, he's liable to take your pointy hat on and try it himself Anything Goes Your Holy Father!!

Besides, Ratzinger is here on Money issues anyway he doesn't care about Bush.
Rumour has it the Catholic Church is running low on funds seems the Abuse Scandals have drained the bank accounts that's why he's here.

[skoalyman]
